The hardest of the Microsoft big three to clean up seems to be Access. As we use to say, "WYSIWYG." The suggestions presented here do a nice job of cleaning up the Excel and Word interfaces, saving time and aggravation. Access has always required one or two extra steps anyway.

This goes for Excel as well. Then, it is a real headache to find a simple blank document, so that you can start from scratch. Personally, I don't need nor want all of those useless templates.

It sounds just like another ribbon to me. Am I wrong? Why is it called back stage view? Does anyone know?LeDon. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Lee Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Backstage view in Word 2013 Hello, 1. Use Alt+F followed by Alt+T to go into Word options. 2. Press S to move to the Save category. 3. Tab to the checkbox "don't show the backstage when opening or saving files" and press spacebar to check it. 4. Tab to OK and use spacebar. If you also don't want the backstage opening when you open word do the following: 1. Press Alt+F followed by Alt+T to go into Word options. 2. The first category is general. Tab across the options in this category. When you get to the "Show the start screen when this application starts" checkbox use spacebar to uncheck it if it is checked. 3. Tab to OK and press spacebar. 4. Close Word and open it again to make sure your options stayed as you set them. If not then you might try restarting your system. Take care.

What comes up for me is what Jaws announces is "backstage view". When I start tabbing around it I find options to open unsaved files, recent documents (which end up being a mighty long list as I try to tab through it) and some other stuff. Sometimes I find a button labeled "browse" and can proceed to a list of folders in My Documents. What I would like to do is have My Documents be open when I press the control+O key, just like it was in Word 2003 and 2007. Can someone control+please help? Thanks.
